Inside and Around The Grounds

We walked around the grounds and inside the church, where there was more monk music to be heard. As I gazed at the altar I could see the glorious cross through the window panes. I also found rosary beads from Medjugore lying on the back table.This chapel had simplicity and beauty, natural beauty. (photos here) We figured that the music was being piped into the grounds under rocks. Who built this church???and why here??On the bottom of the Chapel was the name J & R Downing. It turns out that the Downings own most of the property here on Darling Road. They are now a semiretired couple who with their hard earned fortune had decided to give back to their community and leave a legacy for their children. They had their own children, adopted a few more and had raised 4o foster children. How did this all happen?? I was curious and I wanted to meet the Downings to show them our angel picture.

The Angel led us to....

continued angel story....... The angel led us to The Chapel which was open to all, as my car climbed the mountain to the chapel my brakes were making a squelching shreek. and clang...........................next thing I hear is monk music coming out of the forest and then this fabulous statue of Jesus inviting us into the chapel and a rosary garden with Mary on the left, The majestic mountains and clouds hugged my soul as I turned to Nancy and Jean and said, "Are we dead?" This looks like heaven, and there is no one here but us!!! Where is the monk music coming from??the trees?? I was awed and for a moment I thought my brakes went and we were in an accident and we made it to heaven!!!!!!It was surreal to me! After a few human pinches I realized that we were really alive and this place was a little bit of heaven on earth! to be continued...................................................
